Now available: September issue of SMI!

The September 2010 edition of the Sound Mind Investing newsletter is rolling off the press today — and, of course, it's already available online to our web members.

Even if you're not yet an SMI subscriber, you can still access a few goodies (just use the links below).

Did you know that even during the stock market's "worst of times," perseverance still rewarded the steadfast? SMI's founder and publisher Austin Pryor has details in Facing Your Fears: What If We Have a Market Like We Had During the Great Depression?

Also free to non-subscribers is this month is an article on how you're likely to boost your returns if you invest at a particular time of the month. Read Profiting from Monthly "Seasonality" in the Stock Market.

And our friends at Crown Financial Ministries explain how a strong sense of career direction can help young people avoid costly trial and error when pursuing an education. Find out more in Guiding Your Children Toward Their Career Calling.

Rounding out our September issue are these subscriber-only articles:

• "Mortgage-Backed Bond Funds: Higher Yields for Long-Term Savers";
• "Preferential Treatment: Preferred Stocks Outpace Bond Yields";
• "New Law Limits Credit Card Pitches to Students"; and
• "What Is Your Most Valuable Possession?" — a thought-provoking piece on the value of time.

Our September cover story — by William Bernstein, author of The Investor's Manifesto — offers advice on "Fine-Tuning the Risk in Your IRA, 401(k), and Other Retirement Accounts."

In addition to encouraging articles and step-by-step guidance on how to implement our performance-producing and time-tested investing strategies, SMI web members also gain access to terrific online tools such as our 401(k) Fund Tracker.

Not yet an SMI print subscriber or web member? Today's a great day to sign up! If you become a web member, you'll gain instant access to the September 2010 issue, plus back issues for the past three years!
